I'll be alright. It's just left me with a lot on my mind.

Are you available to meet somewhere?

[probe]

sure. where do you want to go? anywhere specific?

[notaccurate]

Let's go look at one of the new rooms. Want to see what we find in the cargo bay?

[probe]

sure! i'll meet you outside in a bit!

[and as they say, by the time luca turns up lust is standing at the entrance of the cargo bay with their hands behind their back.]

Good morning! [it is probably afternoon by this rate.]

[notaccurate]

I'll take your word for it, it's hard to tell what time it is here.

[He is being careful to avoid eye contact. Not that he can see their eyes anyway, with the hood and all.]

So, who picked our assortment of rooms this week? Was it Pride's doing?

[probe]

Don't worry about it too much. [they don't seem to mind! it's hard to see with the hood anyway, so for now luca is safe.]

It's nothing like that. We don't pick the rooms ourselves or anything.

[notaccurate]

Oh? How are they chosen, then? Subconsciously?

[probe]

Maybe? Have you asked Pride about it at all?

[notaccurate]

...ah. I knew I was forgetting to talk to someone.

[probe]

It's okay if you don't do it right away. Pride will be nice as long as you approach them nicely and not too much all at once. But they might have a better idea about it.

[notaccurate]

[What if he DIES before he can talk to them all?]

I'll do my best. Getting right to the point helped with Greed, so I can try again with Pride.

[probe]

[stop luca still has a week!!! ish!!!]

Yeah! They're both kind of straightforward and don't like people wasting their time, so that could totally work. We keep trying to tell you guys that some of us are more social than others.

[notaccurate]

[I hope he can still harass all of them from the graveyard.]

That is true, you and Envy do make for good conversation partners. And Wrath...I suspect it might be easier if they didn't use so much slang I do not understand.

[probe]

Hehe. You could always ask them to explain it! We've had to catch a few of the others up to speed, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Wrath's really nice when you don't insult them.

[notaccurate]

They wouldn't tell me what 'mansplain' was. I think I may have unintentionally insulted them.

[probe]

They don't like when people mansplain stuff. [lust?] Basically, mansplaining is explaining something in a way that's totally condescending like the other person you're talking to is an idiot. It's not always intentional but it's not very nice either.

[notaccurate]

...but how- I wasn't talking to them like they're an idiot!

[probe]

You have to be delicate about these kinds of things! Just bring them a gift and say you're sorry.

[notaccurate]

A gift and a sorry, huh? Think a cake would be enough of an apology?

[probe]

Yup. They like to cook and stuff, too, so they'd probably love that.

[notaccurate]

Dully noted. They did seem annoyed, so I suppose I should apologize.

[Even if he feels annoyed by it.]

[probe]

Good! [they are a pleased lust.] And even if it's not so easy, think of it as a favor to me.

But that can probably wait, huh? You wanted to take a look at some of the stuff in the cargo bay?

[notaccurate]

Ah, yes. I was wondering if there's anything interesting in these crates. I did promise to show Endorsi some chemical reactions, and if there's something stronger than what's in the kitchen I would be delighted.

[probe]

How much stronger are you thinking? I don't know if you'll find anything that good in there.

[notaccurate]

No acids? What about some phosphorus, or even potassium?
